On the front, it bears a 5-megapixel front camera, placed at the bottom of the screen so whenever you will open the front camera, just rotate the phone and click selfies.

Connectivity options on the Mi MIX 2 include 4G, VoLTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11c, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS/ A-GPS, and USB Type-C.

Commenting at the launch event, Jai Mani, Product Lead, Xiaomi India said, “We are constantly ahead of the pack in trying out new technology and bringing innovations to as many people as possible. Mi MIX 2 is truly an example of what we stand for. It brings together a gorgeous ceramic back, a full-screen display with minimal bezels and a reduced chin size. After an enduring process of 7 days, ceramic is baked at 1400° C and is converted from a brittle material into a strong, premium glass-like finish. We are truly glad to have Mi MIX 2 in India for our Mi Fans and I cannot wait for them to experience this high level of innovation from the house of Xiaomi”
The biggest highlight of the Mi MIX 2 is its 5.99-inch bezel-less LCD display that has a full-HD+ resolution (1080×2160 pixels) in an 18:9 aspect ratio, resulting in a pixel density of 403ppi. Due to the bezel-less design, the front camera and other sensors have been placed on the bottom chin below the display and Mi has used a ‘hidden sound-guided speaker’ that resonates sound through the display and frame. The Mi MIX 2 comes with a ceramic body with a 7-Series aluminum frame and there is a 18K gold plated camera ring on the rear panel. However, the higher variant Mi MIX 2 with all ceramic body and 8GB RAM won’t be available in India.
The Mi MIX 2 is priced at Rs. 35,999 in India and will be available via Flipkart and Mi.com in a preview sale on October 17. At this price, it will compete with the OnePlus 5. The Mi MIX 2 will also go on sale via Mi Home and other offline retailer partners.
